Harvey Fierstein and the cast of the national touring company of Fiddler on the Roof will perform Raising the Roof, a cabaret to benefit the national non-profit, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, at Town Danceboutique, a premiere gay dance club and performance venue. The event will take place on Monday, April 26th at 8pm (doors will open at 7:15pm). Town has graciously donated their space and food will be sponsored by Joaquin "Jocko" Fajardo. The evening's festivities will also include an exciting raffle with prizes including Fiddler tickets, signed posters, t-shirts, private cooking lessons, Zagat guides, dinners for two, and more!

Doyle Leverett, David W. Gilleo, Hannah DelMonte, Rebecca Hoodwin, and Rick Pessagno.

Previously, the company of Fiddler on the Roof hosted benefits for BC/EFA in Chicago and Los Angeles, and since the tour began, in January 2009, they have raised a total of nearly $50,000. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the nation's leading industry based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.
